Does anybody know what the limit is for the history states, like how many you can have? I have mine set to 100, and was told years ago that 100 was the max you could have. I'm using photoshop 6 and CS.
Also, is there a way to save your history states (either version), so that when you reopen a project, you can still view/change/delete your history?

Having a lot of history states is nice (for me anyways) when I'm doing photo restoration, and I'm doing a lot of clicks with the clone tool or the airbrush. It allows me to work on an area of the photo, then go back 10 min later (or 80 mouse clicks later) and see before and after of the area that I'm working on by clicking towards the top of my history states. As far as for saving them, I just think that it'd be nice to be able to work on an image for 10 or 20 min, then save it and go home for the weekend, come back in on Monday and open up that same image and check the history states to know exactly where I left off, or know exactly what else I have left to do.
I just think that both would be usefull to me _________________ All gave some, some gave all.....Lest we forget that war produces veterans, wounded both mentally and physically, and it is our job to help them now, as they have already helped us all in ways we will never know, and in ways that we take for granted every day.

I don't think there any way short of putting everything on a new layer every time, and saving as a psd, you could go back at any time and edit, but it wouldn't be worth the effort! maybe every hundred clicks on a new layer? then you haven't got that much to re-do if it goes pear shaped.
My history is set at 30 I think and it does me. Wayne
just asve it every half hour or so, each time adiing _01, _02, _03, etc to the name. if you've got an 100 mb file though, that could take up a lot of space. _________________ brush your hair and comb your teeth
What about History Snapshots? I've never really done much experimenting with those, but aren't they the equivalent of saved history states? _________________ Interested in showcasing your special effects or learning some new ones from the masters? Check out PSFX!

Well, no really, as a history snapshot is something that can take an image of a history state, at any time in an image, and save it, so you can go back to that exact point at anytime and edit it from there, but unfortunately, when you close the image, the history snapshot is lost
You can use history snapshots as follows:
